Jeremiah 8:17-19

Jubilee Bible 2000

¹⁷ For, behold, I send serpents, cockatrices, among you, which will not be charmed, and they shall bite you, said the LORD.

¹⁸ Because of my strong sorrow, my heart is faint in me.

¹⁹ Behold the voice of the cry of the daughter of my people that comes from a far country: Is not the LORD in Zion? Is not her king in her? Why have they provoked me to anger with their graven images and with vanities of a strange god?
